Full Testimonial

[Guest guest]

The moderators asked me to add some information to my testimonial, so I am

reposting it with the added information.

Well, I've been promising scan results for the past week. I didn't think

would know anything until next week. However,(shhh!!) the technicians showed

me my scan.

The news? Nothing showed up! That's right - the scan was unable to detect

any cancer on today, December 15, 2006. Amazing, huh? I'm giving praise to

the God of Abraham, Isaac and this evening!

Some background:

I had found a lump in my left breast in December of 2005. I assumed it was

an infection caused by the underwire bra that I had just started wearing.

So I stopped wearing a bra altogether and the lump did seem to decrease. (I

later found out that the lump would increase and decrease according to

hormones.) In late January, my right hip started hurting. By Late March, I

had to start walking with a cane. I couldn't figure out why this " pulled

muscle " wasn't healing! By April, the lymph nodes under my left arm started

hurting. Well, that was it. I finally went to the doctor, was diagnosed

with cancer and had a mastectomy. Further testing revealed that the cancer

had spread to my bones. I had Breast Cancer Type IV, estrogen positive,

with mets to the bones. Before chemo, I lit up the PET scan like a

Christmas tree. Cancer was in the hip bone, spine, several ribs, sternum,

and the large bones of my arms and legs. Essentially, everywhere in my

bones. I began Chemo in May 2006 sometime, and ended on August 23rd. I

had six sessions of chemotherapy - each one was three weeks apart.

In July 2006, after four sessions of chemo, I had another PET scan. Again,

I lit it up like a Christmas tree. In fact, the doctor who read the scan

gave the opinion that the cancer was spreading. (However, to be fair, the

first PET scan was not easy to read. And to be fair, the pain in my right

hip that was most affected was pretty much gone.) After this July PET

scan, I had two more sessions of chemotherapy.

So, do I think that the last two rounds of chemo took away the last of the

cancer. Not by itself it didn't! While I don't want to take anything away

from the Budwig protocol I am now doing, I did up my antioxidants right

after the 4th session of chemo. I haven't had any scans since July, and have

gone since August 23rd without any kind of medication to slow down the

cancer.

So what have I done besides chemotherapy? I started taking supplements

and anti-oxidants after my first chemotherapy in May. I started taking some

around the first week of June, and started in more seriously about the third

week of June. After the July Pet scan (after four sessions of chemotherapy)

I got some good information on more correct dosages - especially for the

CoQ-10. I started the Budwig protocol about four weeks after chemotherapy

ended (about September 20th ??) and discontinued all my anti-oxidants by

about October 5th.

Probably one of the most important things I did, though, was to address

what I felt was the root emotional, or spiritual, cause of the cancer. Many

women who get breast cancer have issues with unforgiveness or resentments

that have had something that caused them to be under high stress. These

types of things need to be dealt with, or the cancer may never be healed.

For me, I realized I had some deep resentments against my husband -

particularly in the area of finances. When our house burned down in May of

2005, these resentments came to a head and I believe that caused the cancer

to be able to really start growing.

I am honestly not sure what helped me the most as far as alternative

protocols. I KNOW that addressing the root emotional cause was probably

most important of anything I did, though. Physically, I know I've FELT the

best with the Budwig protocol - more energy and just feeling great. When

doing the Budwig protocol, it almost feels like I'm on steroids because I

have so much energy and I feel so happy all the time. (Or maybe getting rid

of that burden of resentment has made me happier!) It may be that the

anti-oxidants, on top of chemo - got rid of most of the cancer. There are

certainly studies that show that happening. But it is certain that I would

have been limping again by NOW if I hadn't been doing something that was

working. (See how fast I started limping before.)

I will be interested to hear what the oncologist says. Is it common for the

cancer to be undetectable at this point? Did she expect (or does she see

this in others) such rapid and good response?

I'm still not sure what is causing the lingering pain in my OTHER hip, and

leg bones. However, a visit to the chiropractor does help it considerably,

so it could be things happening in my spine as I heal. So, I'm doing the

happy dance this evening and telling everybody I know!!
